Shipping golf clubs from Columbus --> NYC? Should I use UPS? FedEX? AE?

[Spac3d]

Package: Supplying own hard case for the bag + clubs
From: 43017 - Columbus, OH
To: 10007 - Manhattan

Weight: ???? 50 pounds?
Insurance: Will insure for $1000, more if it isn't much money
Preferred method of shipping: Ground
Arrival: Needs to be there by July 31st.

Package will be shipped tomorrow, but I don't know who I should ship it by. FedEx had a drop off station right near my house, but now there is a big tree where that shack used to be

I can drop this thing off at the UPS sort facility of central Ohio if it will be any cheaper...

I know you people say UPS is crap, but I have never shipped anything fragile before.

Ship it via Airborne .

are you talking about Columbus Ohio ?

Just make an account with them, and arrange ground shipping.

They'll even come to your door to pick it up.

Also transit time from Ohio to NY should be like 2 days.

Yes, Columbus, Ohio.

Will that be cheaper than dropping it off at Office Max?
